Could anxiety be causing my pain, could it be IBS

22 year old female. Over the last month I've been having abdominal pain. It started in my right upper side, my doctor thought it was gallbladder related but an ultrasound found nothing, it eased for a week or so and came back worse than ever. I'm always bloated the pain is on both sides now, it's a dull ache and very tender to touch, for two days I could barely eat and now the pain is in my lower abdomen and groin area and is sometimes like a stabbing pain and sometimes just an ache. It starts on my lower left side and goes through my pelvic/groin kind of like waves. I'm having more bowel movements and frequency in urination and the pain is starting to radiate to my back. I've been able to eat the last couple of days but the pain is still there. I feel like I'm always tired and I'm so frustrated my doctor prescribed me with heartburn and indigestion medication for 2 weeks to see if it gets better. Could this be IBS

Hey marie99158, I too have been wondering the same thing. Lately Ive been having severe cramps in my lower abdomen (like extreme bloating ) to the point where it's really painful! More frequent urination, period has been a bit off and my pelvis region feels like its dull and achy. Im prettty worried about it to be honest, hoping its just anxiety but cant help worrying i have something more sinister wrong with me!!

Go back to your gp and get a second opinion if you are worried .. From experience i know stress and anxiety have caused me problems with my stomach but still best to get yourself checked .

Anxiety usually creates ibs.
